About Me

Born in Missouri, raised in New York, college educated in Connecticut, settled down in NYC and now living in Florida for the last twenty years - that's me in a nut shell. And I'm in Nashville as often as I can be to pursue the songwriting.I've been writing songs all my life. Some of my earliest memories include making up little ditties while swinging in our back yard when I was maybe three or four years old.Over the last 12 years, I've been taking songwriting more seriously and have written and co-written hundreds of songs. Some of my songs have been cut and released by several Indie artists, which has been quite exciting.Lately, I've also been contributing articles and CD reviews for music web zines, and for a year I worked as a publicist for South Asian Pop star Najam Sheraz.I'm kind of going with the flow right now, allowing new music opportunities to come into my life and I'm enjoying the ride.
